Much value stems from obtaining instantaneous yield, moisture, and constituent data. The HarvestLab 3000 sensor allows producers to make informed management decisions at harvest and during storage in order to maximize silage and feed quality from the day it is harvested to the day it is fed or sold. This instantaneous information can then be recorded and documented by using the Harvest Doc™ mapping system and a StarFire™ 6000 Receiver.Įach operation is unique, but in general, silage harvested in a matter of days is expected to feed herds the entire year or be sold throughout the year.Ĭonsidering harvest conditions are never perfect and feed quality never improves after harvest or during storage, effective management and the ability to react quickly and efficiently becomes paramount. HarvestLab™ 3000 sensor provides on-the-go yield, moisture and constituents data when used in conjunction with the Harvest Monitor™ system.
In addition, the smart use of additives ultimately leads to higher milk yields and more efficient use of feed.
It also helps achieve higher quality forage by enabling automatic length-of-cut adjustments on the go to ensure an optimal bunker compaction and conservation. For better fertilization planning in the next season, operators can use the HarvestLab 3000 sensor to determine and document the nutrient values taken off the field during harvest. The HarvestLab 3000 sensor enables an accurate measurement and documentation of dry matter, starch, protein, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber in different crop types.
